The difference is that fiber-optics use light pulses to transmit information down fiber lines instead of using electronic pulses to transmit information down copper lines. Looking at the components in a fiber-optic chain will give a better understanding of how the system works in conjunction with wire based systems.At one end of the system is a transmitter. This is the place of origin for information coming on to fiber-optic lines. The transmitter accepts coded electronic pulse information coming from copper wire. It then processes and translates that information into equivalently coded light pulses.Think of a <a href="http://www.latestone.com/cables" rel="nofollow">VGA Cable</a> in terms of very long cardboard roll (from the inside roll of paper towel) that is coated with a mirror on the inside.If you shine a flashlight in one end you can see light come out at the far end - even if it&#39;s been bent around a corner.Varun Reddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105214286088196190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-71426128811199366652016-03-03T20:36:25.760-08:002016-03-03T20:36:25.760-08:00Well I can&#39;t tell you how it will make the dre...Well I can&#39;t tell you how it will make the dreamcast look but I can tell you definitively that VGA cabling offers clearer and higher resolution output than a SCART, RGB, coax, composite, or component cable will. I use VGA cables on my CRT monitors to display 2 20&#39;&#39; monitors at 1900x1440 each. It may make it look clearer on your HDTV set but it will never look extremely crisp as it is always being stretched to fit that TV. The dreamcast only outputs in 480 so you will never make it higher resolution that that. If it functions anything like my component cable on my ps2 then it will crispen the image on the HDTV. There is a massive difference between composite and component. You could always give it a go and just take the cables back if they dont work. many local electronic stores have <a href="http://www.latestone.com/hdmi-to-vga-converters" rel="nofollow"> HDMI to VGA Cable </a> for very cheap.Varun Reddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105214286088196190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-51511682384308620712013-11-19T09:04:53.911-08:002013-11-19T09:04:53.911-08:00Get a hanzo with scanliner it&#39;s much better fo...Get a hanzo with scanliner it&#39;s much better for the same price.

I&#39;ve used a small Dell monitor without issues. According to the specs your monitor should support the resolution and the VGA input. My guess is it could be the box or the Dreamcast itself, but as far as officially figuring out the problem, trial and error tends to be your friend. If you can, try a different monitor, different DC, different VGA cable, etc. until you&#39;ve exhausted your options.Gaming Through The Ageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797069500873509582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-47567147087122516082011-09-20T01:51:03.105-07:002011-09-20T01:51:03.105-07:00Thanks for writing the article :) - I&#39;m strugg...Thanks for writing the article :) - I&#39;m struggling with a &#39;DC VGA Box&#39; from eBay, which I can&#39;t get to work on a Dell 1780FP (specs here: https://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/1708FP/en/ug/about.htm#Specifications).

I would see if wiggling the cable around does anything, such as a picture flickering in and out, etc. <br /><br />I doubt your plugging it into the wrong inputs if you&#39;ve been careful enough to use your TV&#39;s manual, but I suppose it&#39;s possible. I would just try to do my best to get a a peek at the inputs and make sure the cable&#39;s colors are in the corresponding colored inputs. So Yellow plug goes in Yellow input, red in red, and white in white.Gaming Through The Ageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797069500873509582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-33725910027922612952011-09-13T09:25:34.505-07:002011-09-13T09:25:34.505-07:00I have an RCA cable for my Dreamcast, and I am get...I have an RCA cable for my Dreamcast, and I am getting no signal on my AV channels. I plug it in and after a minute I still have no signal. A practical problem is that the TV is nailed to the wall and I can&#39;t see well, but I used the TV manual which tells me to plug it in top to bottom (yellow, white, red) and might have got it wrong a few times before that.

That&#39;s why they look so pixelated. Most Capcom games didn&#39;t include the option to display in 640 x 480, which is a shame. <br /><br />The best option if you want to play those games as well as the higher resolution games and make sure all the games look as good as possible is the VGA box with S-video/RCA/VGA hook-ups. That way you can switch into S-video mode for the lower resolution games really easily.Gaming Through The Ageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797069500873509582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-49982515723075099182011-04-21T04:49:18.869-07:002011-04-21T04:49:18.869-07:00Sorry, i meant Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super H...Sorry, i meant Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes instead of Marvel Super Heroes. :)RyuGrhttp://www.gamers-odyssey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620431007357307510.post-74745673591627538572011-04-21T04:43:43.832-07:002011-04-21T04:43:43.832-07:00Sure there are games that with the use of VGA box ...Sure there are games that with the use of VGA box look much better than the standard connections (RF, composite and even RGB Scart/S-Video) but on the other hand there are a lot of games which show their imperfections (aliasing and pixelisation).<br /><br />Especially in 2D games the sprites are pixelated, i guess because they have small resolution and they display in progressive scan. (E.g.: Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel vs Capcom 2, KOF: Evolution, SF III: Third Strike). Notable exception is Guilty Gear X which looks extremely beautiful with VGA!<br /><br />3D Games look clearer with brighter colors, but you can easily distinct pixalated textured areas and jaggied edges. Again, there are some exceptions, especially Soul Calibur, which look better in all aspects.<br /><br />Note that i use CRT monitor, not a LCD HDTV, that means the console resolution matches the display of the monitor.<br /><br />My opinion is that, overaly, the best way to enjoy your DC games is to use RGB Scart/S-Video cable combined with a standard definition tv. (That goes for the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube too).<br /><br />I would like to read your opinion on this, because all over the internet i haven&#39;t read not even one negative comment on VGA Box for dreamcast, and i have to say that i&#39;m a little disapointed about its purchase.RyuGrhttp://www.gamers-odyssey.comnoreply@blogger.com
